I like that! If you actually let them log in, you might have to support
them.

The biggest problem is that, in an NT4 domain, you can't reliably separate
the PDC from the rest of the network - too much relies on it being easily
available. AD native mode makes this a much more attainable goal.

Personally, I'd spend the time defending the data servers more than the
authentication servers.
